The bomb could contaminate large areas and cause deadly illnesses such as cancer.

At the same time a Russian expert warned that America and Russia are in danger of triggering an “uncontrolled arms race” by failing to negotiate over nuclear weapons.

The stark warnings were issued at a London conference of the International Luxembourg Forum on Preventing Nuclear catastrophe.

Lord Browne said terrorists are working to get the components needed for a crude dirty bomb.

Radioactive materials such as caesium-137, cobalt-60 and iridium-192 are widely used in hospitals around the world, often as part of life-saving treatments.

But they could also be mixed with explosives to create a dirty bomb.
